Exploring supports to address adolescent vaping
We are inviting parents of adolescents aged 12-18 year olds, and secondary (high) school staff in Australia to take part in a research study to understand adolescent vaping prevention and cessation support, including what helps or hinders efforts to address vaping, how parents and school staff are supported, and attitudes towards the role of schools. Participation involves a short, anonymous 15 minute online survey. You will have the chance to win 1 of 4 $50 e-gift cards.
RESOURCE
We’re inviting adults aged 18-70, with or without type 2 diabetes, to take part in a study exploring how low-calorie sweeteners may affect blood sugar levels through their action on the kidneys. The study involves taking sweetener or placebo capsules over two weeks and attending four visits at the Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences (AHMS) building. Participants will be reimbursed up to $350 for their time.
Community Action for Safe Speeds Survey
The George Institute for Global Health is conducting a study that aims to better understand your attitudes toward safe speeds on your community’s roads. We invite you to complete an anonymous 20-minute online survey. You will be asked to complete the survey twice – once now and again in 6 months. These surveys will ask basic questions about your demographics, driving behaviours and attitudes to road safety.
Assessment of alternative methods to measure blood pressure out-of-clinic
Ever wondered if your blood pressure device works properly? High blood pressure is a modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factor and may be tracked with regular measurement. Many blood pressure measurement devices are convenient but not validated for accuracy.
Injured workers’ experience of using GP services
We’re inviting people with experience of a work-related injury and a workers’ compensation claim to take part in a study about their experiences with GP (general practitioner) care.
Carer’s Perception on Risks & Barriers to Care in Farmers with Dementia
This qualitative study will examine carers’ viewpoints on challenges and obstacles in providing care to dementia patients in agricultural communities.
Living with Anxiety study
We’re inviting people who have experienced an anxiety disorder to take part in a research study. The study aims to better understand how our genes may influence anxiety and how people respond to common medications used to treat it. By collecting survey responses from 5,000 people with anxiety, researchers hope to uncover genetic factors linked to treatment outcomes. This could lead to more effective, personalised treatment options in the future.
Parenting support for parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities
We are looking for families of children (0-10 years old) diagnosed with any neurodevelopmental disability (including autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, FASD etc.) or developmental delay to take part in the trial of an online parenting support program PACT Online.
Engagement in Mindfulness Practice Among Individuals with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Researchers from the University of Sydney want to learn more about how and why some people with chronic musculoskeletal pain choose to engage in certain health and wellness practices, such as mindfulness meditation. The survey includes a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and will take approximately 10 to 20 minutes to complete.
